My new bit of kit...it's a horrible video!

No, the video's not a bit of kit...it's my new DIY hammock. A concentrated group effort between JunebugDawn and her elite Thread Injector skills and Aahgladius and his contributions, I now present to you: The Swamp Sling.

I heard some tales about the manufacture of this hammock. It might be cursed. Sure you wanna chance it? Will take it and perform various ceremonies in the light of the moon to cleanse of the evil. Take.....6-7 months. Very reasonable rates.

Weight is relative... I will take a little less comfort on the trail for a better nights sleep any day...

I have said more than once, you can be real comfortable on the trail and uncomfortable in camp, or real comfortable in camp and uncomfortable on the trail... My 2.5 lb hatchet and folding saw was a bit to carry, but when everyone was standing around the campfire and we burned a whole tree in 3 hours, suddenly the weight didn't matter much any more...
